Abstract

The plasma spray process has been developed to deposit thin coatings. The plasma jet properties have been investigated by conducting simulations with the ANSYS Fluent 17.1 applying the SST K − ω turbulence model. As the inputs of simulations, the required plasma thermodynamic and transport properties are calculated in local chemical equilibrium (LCE) and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). The simulated results of turbulence and temperature of the plasma jet are described. Regarding the experimental results, the analysis of plasma jet’s turbulence and Mach disk are also given. However, in the case of consideration of coatings formation, Monte Carlo simulations are used to simulate the growth of columns. And the orientations of columns of the thin films are compared with that of the simulated results.
